Zero Carbon Accelerator
Scaling up London’s ability to decarbonise
The Mayor of London’s Zero Carbon Accelerator offers free technical support to London-based organisations on their journey to decarbonisation.
From expert advice and training to knowledge sharing and finance information, the Accelerator aims to help London meet its net zero target by 2030.
65%* of carbon emissions in London come from buildings
To meet the Mayor of London’s net zero target by 2030, we need to accelerate the energy transition of our buildings, such as hospitals, schools and social housing.

Who is the Zero Carbon Accelerator for?
This programme supports:
- local authorities
- GLA Group organisations
- the wider public sector (e.g. NHS, education)
- anchor institutions
- social housing providers
- community groups and cultural institutions.
The Zero Carbon Accelerator is focused on supporting decarbonisation projects from public sector organisations across three strategic areas, which are aligned with Mayoral priorities:
- domestic decarbonisation, making people’s homes in London more energy efficient, affordable to heat and better for their health
- RE:FIT 5, the Mayor’s refreshed energy performance and retrofit framework
- strategic decarbonisation projects at scale that take an area-based approach, including Great British Energy-funded NHS Trust projects and community energy initiatives delivered through the government’s Local Power Plan
